US saxophonist and composer Kamasi Washington will release a double album via Young Turks in June.

Heaven And Earth is Washington’s second proper full-length, following on from The Epic, released in 2015 on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder. It features two-and-a-half hours of music, split into two parts: two CDs or four LPs.

We’re told that the double album addresses a certain sort of dualism. “‘The world that my mind lives in, lives in my mind. This idea inspired me to make this album,” Washington explains. “The Earth side of this album represents the world as I see it outwardly, the world that I am a part of. The Heaven side of this album represents the world as I see it inwardly, the world that is a part of me. Who I am and the choices I make lie somewhere in between.”
